(WSVN) - A man who was rescued from a plane crash off the coast of Florida goes from survivor to inmate.
According to Drug Enforcement Administration officials, 58-year-old Jonathan Gardiner was part of a Georgia-based drug trafficking operation supplying cocaine to foreign countries.
Gardiner was one of 11 people saved when a small aircraft went down about 80 miles off Melbourne, May 12.
Authorities say a bag of $30,000 in Bahamian currency and three different cell phones were found on Gardiner when he was rescued.
